Just ordered a 550i custom from the factory, my rep recommended i get the M5 wheels on my own as the
dealership costs were too high, i found the rims on m-technic. This car will be in las vegas all year long
so what type of tires should i get, Is my best bet a good set of summer tires or all seasons. Can someone
recommend a good set of tires to put on the 19's?

FWIW I did get the M aero kit done through the dealership

Welcome aboard, good choice on the 550i. We are looking forward to seeing it.

Many guys here like the PS2s. Search around and you can find lots of discussion about which tires to get.

Check with Autowerks at (800) 221-2262 and ask for Josh. He'll get you vrederstein tires. These are real good summer tires for a great price.

I am very happy with General Exclaim. They are the least expensive tire ($550 for 4), but rated the highest on Tire Rack in their category.
If money is no concern, the PS2 are probably the way to go.
